| 1358216 | 2013-10-29 23:40:00 | So would you say that out of FF and Chrome on Windows 8.1, Chrome runs better? I've also looked around and there seems to be a lot of reports of the 8.1 upgrade causing some issues. I'm guessing Windows 8 was better before the upgrade? FF was the choice b4 upgrade. OK then. |

| 1358218 | 2013-10-30 00:18:00 | Chrome is working OK with win8.1 as is IE. Win8 was OK b4 upgrade. |

| 1358219 | 2013-10-30 00:27:00 | So from that I take it that Firefox is crap after the upgrade.. and everything else is pretty much fine, and you want to keep using Firefox rather than change to Chrome? | Webdevguy (17166) | ||
| 1358220 | 2013-10-30 00:33:00 | Since upgrading to Windows 8.1 (possibly not related to the upgrade), I have been having webpage problems. Adobe Flash regularly crashes. When loading a page, I appear to have periods when the cursor becomes unresponsive and the page freezes. There are usually multiple links and images in the pages. The freezing can occur after the main part of the page has loaded and sometimes after the page has loaded (may be more links or images loading). Sometimes while scrolling down a page I get black sections (maybe half the page) that last for a few seconds before displaying correctly. I have up-to-date flash player (11.9.900.117) as well as java-script. I have also checked my Vipre Internet Security by disabling it and the problem persists. Anyone any suggestions? Similar problems here Gary. IE Explorer 11 Win 8.1. Most sites load without problem but some give an "Explorer cannot load this page check your connection " error message. Resetting IE Explorer fixes it for a while but the problem returns after a while. Disabling Enhanced Protected Mode as per support.microsoft.com appears to improve it.(yes I know that article is about IE10 & Windows 8 and earlier). I am also finding some pictures blocked on some sites. Needless to say I shall be keeping an eye on this subject. My system ran without problem on win 8. It appears 8.1 may have introduced some compatibility/security problems. |

| 1358221 | 2013-10-30 00:36:00 | Cyberfox is fine here. It uses FF code. Don't know if it's because I did a clean install of 8.1. I didn't upgrade from Win8 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1358222 | 2013-10-30 01:34:00 | Was going to do a Clean Reinstall but the FF download page went ahead and downloaded a V25.0 upgrade (a couple of days ago when I checked it was still v24.0). After installation things seem to be OK. Here's Hoping! I can even watch imbedded videos. Thanks for your input. Cheers Gary |

| 1358223 | 2013-10-30 02:53:00 | Thanks for that Gary. FF 25 appears to be working well for me also, pages that gave problems with IE11 and Chrome are all behaving with FF :). | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1358224 | 2013-10-30 03:29:00 | Most things are back to normal, but I am still getting a few webpages that will produce part of the page showing black for a short period. | garyasta (1151) | ||
| 1358225 | 2013-11-08 04:38:00 | FWIIW If I press F12 and set IE11 to emulate IE10 pages that gave problems then load fine using IE on my system. I have no problems at all when using FF25 which is now my default browser. |
